thanks Bgadow
Yeah im afraid its shot, the guy admitted to plugging it in and he saw smoke from the transformer (he didnt know better) It also has that sweet aroma you get from burnt windings.. The tv looks comparable to a DUMONT chassis.
Im hoping more collectors will chime in with parts and some help with this project. The cabinet is SWEET and ide love to get this back up and running
This isnt the first packard bell ive had, i had a tv/radio/phonagraph combo in 79. Had the parts lying around till about 2 yrs ago when my nephew cleaned the garrage out and errected a bedroom. I lost alot of good parts that day, so im starting from scratch on this project.
Again thanks for the fond welcome
Steve
